Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Aspergillus lentulus and Aspergillus fumigatus isolates in a patient with probable invasive aspergillosis

Abstract

Characteristic morphological and phylogenetic analyses demonstrated the presence of Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus lentulus as the aetiological agents in a case of probable invasive aspergillosis (IA). This is believed to be the first report of an A. lentulus strain isolated from a patient with probable IA in Argentina.
